Hampton by Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center

Rooms are great. Very cozy, spacious and hygienic. Service is great. I'm impressed that room service left me a handwritten note. I think it's a nice touch. They also have a large list of items you can borrow from hotel - including nail clippers, toys, charging cables etc. Breakfast is nice. My only complaint is that the rooms, on frequent occasion, smell mildly like smoke and cigarettes. Even though smoking is not allowed, I see cigarettes on the ashtray at the elevators, which indicates there are still people smoking indoors

Highly recommended! The room and bed were well appointed and comfortable. Next to a main road (common in Guangzhou) but the windows sound proof well and I used the fan for a little extra white noise. The A/C unit was turned off for the "winter" I suppose but I was still a little warm, luckily I could remove the comforter from the duvet to cool down (opening the one tiny window didn't do much even with unusually cold weather). The breakfast had a wide variety both Western and Chinese. The complimentary late checkout of 2pm was very useful for me. Check in and staff experience was good. You may be tempted to try Mr. Rocky across the street, an American Texas style bar & restaurant, skip the "award winning" steak and you'll be happy :) Plenty of shopping and food options (mostly Asian but a couple others) very close, you'll have to take some steps to cross the road. Couple images of the hotel and one from the room are attached

Functional room with large shower and toilet area. Comfortable bed and pillow. Boring wifi signal. Staffs are attentive but lack of English-speaking. Tasty breakfast but quite busy and hard to find available table.
